I know it's impossible now to calculate the 14-day % (since some cases also fall off) but here are today's numbers, as of 4 pm:

Clearly they had been artificially low before. In one day, granted, after the weekend, a number equal to 5% of the school population tested positive. I see several other schools in that same bucket, mostly with similar demographics. I guess we're catching up. Green, no longer. |

| The high schools are wow. Only a couple in our ES today. T |

| 16 staff (!) each at Chevy Chase ES and Paint Branch, and 9 at Poolesville ES. |

| The ESS numbers are so high. It’s a small school. |

But they were implausibly low before-- it was supposedly one of of 8 green schools out of 209 schools. The vast majority of green and greenish yellow schools were high ESOL, high FARMS, etc. Their color reflected lower testing than UMC+ school populations who tested over break, not lower actual rates of COVID. I believe they just caught up once they could get communication directly from schools, by going in, and in some cases, being tested. Over the break, information was unevenly distributed and tests hard to find. Now things will even out a bit. |

And by "even out" I mean "rapidly increase from ~equally high levels." |

Isn’t Chevy Chase one of the 11 that is virtual? |

No, North Chevy Chase is one of the 11. I am shocked at the 16 CCES staff cases and I’m telling myself it’s a typo, although I have no knowledge one way or another. |

CCES numbers are shocking! I also wonder if its a typo! |

| My kids’ schools weren’t so bad as of 4pm yesterday, but I can’t wait to see what they’ll be today with all the new cases from the testing last night. I know of several unexpected positives already. |

| I don’t understand these numbers. Blair sent out an email yesterday that there were 42 students and 3 staff members. The numbers here are lower. |

The report is just the number of positive cases reported the prior day, I believe. The email you received was likely cumulative. But dang this is confusing. |

| Are the schools with the big jumps the ones that sent out tests on Friday? |

So confusing and misleading. |

No. CCES had a big jump and it was only for staff--tests have not come home yet to students. |
